Hexagonal truncated trapezohedron

Hexagonal truncated trapezohedron

The hexagonal truncated trapezohedron is the fourth in an infinite series of truncated trapezohedron polyhedra. It has 12 pentagon and 2 hexagon faces.

This polyhedron can be constructed by taking a hexagonal trapezohedron and truncating the polar axis vertices.

Weaire-Phelan structure

Another form of this polyhedron has "D""2d" symmetry and is a part of a space-filling honeycomb along with an irregular dodecahedron, called Weaire-Phelan structure.
